Cruz: Hillary Clinton 'Deliberately Stonewalled' on Benghazi

Tea party heavyweight Sen. Ted Cruz said that he believes former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton purposely prevented the public release of details pertaining to the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

"What I think is that she has deliberately stonewalled," Cruz said in an interview with George Stephanopoulos on "This Week."

"The American people deserve the truth; our men and women in harm's way deserve the truth," the Texas Republican added.

Although Cruz did not directly say that he believes Clinton's handling of Benghazi should disqualify her from running for president, he had a quick response to Stephanopoulos when asked for the case against a Hillary Clinton presidency.

The senator pointedly tied Clinton to what he said were the failures of the Obama administration, referring to an "Obama-Clinton" foreign policy and saying that the low labor-force participation rate under Obama is a reason not to vote for Hillary.
